Aamir Khan tweets...My daughter Ira's
first exhibition, and I managed to buy this one. It's called 'The Tiger's
Nest'. I love it!
Ira Khan, the eldest daughter is holding
her first painting exhibition at Mumbai where Aamir Khan had brought the black
and white painting of Paro Taktsang Monastery.
The monastery build in 1692 is one of the
sacred sites of Buddhism; is located in the cliff-side of the upper Paro
valley, in Bhutan. Paro Taktsang is the better known for its thirteen taktsang
or "tiger lair" caves in which Guru Padmashambhava meditated.
Legend says Guru Padmashambhava had flown
to this place on the back of tigress. The place was blessed to tame the Tiger
Demon. Padmasambhava is credited with introducing Buddhism to Bhutan. Thus
getting the word Tiger’s Nest!!
